Electronic Music Production Demo

Jake Williams, electronic musician and course leader for our Electronic Music Production & DJ Practice BA (Hons) degree will be demonstrating experimental turntablist and soundscape DJ techniques using the Traktor S8 controller. Jake's demo will cover the basics of operating the S8 controller, building STEMS tracks, employing FX, live looping and embracing the joy of random sonic accidents. Participants may even get a chance to get hands on and even build their own STEMS (so bring in your own audio files on USB, just in case!).

Audio Post Production Demo

Scott Marshall, our head of post-production, will be demonstrating how multichannel mixing works, using a 5.1 system in our AVID S6 studio. As an Avid partner, will be covering mixing concepts for films, focussing on effects, dialogue and music integration, using the Avid S6 console.

Studio Production Demo

Ben Davies, our Music Production BA (Hons) course leader, will be conducting a sound mixing demonstration with Pro Tools using a legendary Neve VR60 analogue console. As one of only seven exclusive Neve partners in the UK, this session will be covering a basic introduction to the patch bay, instrument fader groupings, dynamic processors and special effects. Participants will have a chance to ask any technical questions about the mix and an opportunity to produce a basic fader mix under the guidance of a highly experienced tutor.

Individual Appointments

We will do our best to offer 1-2-1 consultations at the end of the tour although this is not always possible due to time constraints.
